so, i tried booting up the mediatek flasher, to see if it would do anytihng, and ran into the same issue i ran into with the unisoc flasher: it refuses to run unless you provide it with a partition map in advance, and i haven't found a factory image for this phone yet. _however_, i know from working with the protocol under the hood with the mediatek phone, that it doesn't actually use the partition map for anything for most of the protocol. it's a soft barrier. unfortunately i don't remember how the protocol works and didn't document what i found well.
